Dylan Carden has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that emphasize thredUP’s long-term potential despite near-term headwinds. He acknowledges that the company’s latest quarter largely matched expectations and that profitability guidance was reduced, driven by inflationary pressure on lower-income customers and the need for heavier promotions, which together weigh on near-term earnings.

At the same time, he views the current weakness as an opportunity for investors, arguing that thredUP is well positioned to benefit from a secular shift toward resale over time. Management’s decision to lean into promotions and marketing, particularly to clear older inventory and enhance the platform, is seen as a strategic move to support future growth, even if it temporarily suppresses revenue and margins. As a result, Carden maintains a constructive long-term stance and believes the stock can recover as these investments begin to pay off.

In another report released on August 6, Northland Securities also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $10.00 price target.
